Prevention of Diseases and Self-Medication: nil

About The BookAll of you will agree that prevention is better than cure. Almost all medical problems except those of hereditary or genetic origin can be prevented by developing a strong immune system and by taking precautions and vaccinations. However there is no unanimity regarding self-medications. Many including almost all doctors are vehemently against the concept of self-medication. I feel that there are many situations where self-medication is the only option. Self-medication is unavoidable when the patient has no access to medical facilities. This situation is quite common in far-flung rural or remote areas during natural calamities transport or doctor’s strikes and communal or political strife. Self-medication is the only option for those who cannot travel to get medical assistance due to lack of money and for the aged who may not have transport money or attendants to take them to places where medical facilities are available. Knowledge about self-medication options is essential for women who are single mothers working women or those living with hostile in-laws.  The Book provides tips on prevention of diseases. It also provides tips on self-medication using allopathy ayurveda and homeopathy for the open-minded pragmatists for menstrual problems life style diseases and problems of the elderly like dementia Parkinson’s disease and prostrate problems.
